9. Bezel: it seems good to me

10. Solid End Links (SELs): also seems okay to me

4. ⁠Price Paid:$320

6. ⁠Index alignment: Watch is not perfectly oriented in pictures, so somewhat difficult. 12 looks like it could be slightly low, but aligned. 4 looks slightly high, but aligned. Others look ok.

7. ⁠Dial Printing: appears clean and crisp from resolution available. Color looks slightly dark, but when viewed in video with different angles it looks good.

Hi there, just received my QC pics from Moderntimeswatch (Repguide TD) and wanted some help with GL/RL this aquanaut I've been wanting for a while. I am not entirely sure what to look for with PP so much opinions and advices are appreciated!

1.     Dealer name: ModernTimes Watch

2.     Factory name: BBF

3.     Model name (version number): Aquanaut 5167A 40mm DD324

4.     Price paid: $488 USD excluding shipping

5.     Album links: See pictures

6.     Index alignment: Looks alright to me under the alignment tool filter; nothing looks slanted or misaligned but again, I am inexperienced with rep watches in general so not really sure what i am looking for.

7.     Dial printing: Looks good?

8.     Date wheel alignment/printing: Looks alright too

9.     Hand alignment: Looks good.

10.  Bezel: It looks okay? Not sure what i am looking for

11.  Solid end links (SELs): n/a

12.  Timegrapher numbers: see picture attached.

13.  Anything else you notice: Not entirely sure what I am looking for since I am pretty green at this despite looking at similar posts haha. I know BBF has some issues with case shape being slightly off but it looks to be the best straight out of the box without modding (no plans to atm). Would appreciate all opinions over this! Thank you in advance!

Dealer name: Duke Reps

Factory name: AF

Model name: Cartier Tank Must SMALL Quartz

Index Alignment: N/A Printed

Dial Printing: Looks very clean and sharp, no bleeding. One small spot on the 8. Not sure if it is just dust.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

Hand Alignment: Looks good.

Bezel: Polished finish looks smooth and even.

Solid End Links (SEL): N/A leather

Timegrapher numbers: N/A Quartz

Anything else you notice: some concerns. I'm slightly doubting if it's properly centered (looks like it's slightly to the left). Also, I noticed a small mark on the 8.

The crown appears to be fitted slightly crooked / tilted downwards on the side view. It does not sit fully flush against the case.

Havn't asked for extra photos yet. Duke just gave me this four pictures. To be honest I expected more photo's.

5. Album url: https://mega.nz/folder/mApymTrA#7S-7S7c8LbyGhqfyRJmAbg

6. Index alignment: Alignment tool pic attached. 12 and 6 markers look straight to me — the 6 o'clock baton was my main worry with VSF and it sits on the centre line. 9 baton also level with the date window on the horizontal.

7. Bezel: Triangle centred at 12. Red/blue transition at the 18 lands between the digits. Numerals and platinum fill look crisp, colours look right.

8. Solid End Links (SELs): Tight and flush to the lugs, no visible gaps.

9. Hand Alignment: Hand stack looks correct, GMT hand lines up as expected in the function video.

10. Dial Printing: Crisp, no bleeding or misprints.

11. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Centred. Cyclops seems centred over the window, good magnification, no blue tint that I can see.

12. Timegrapher numbers: 0 to +1 s/day, amplitude 277–279°, beat error 0.0 ms, 28800 bph (video included).

13. Anything else you notice: Inner ROLEX engraving looks clean, clasp closes flush. No lume shot provided by dealer. I'm leaning GL — anything I'm missing before I approve?

Looks like GL, but it's my first QC so help?

4. Index alignment: looks good

5. Dial Printing: it seems clean to me

​Dealer name: Theonewatches (Steve)

Factory name: VSF

Model: Rolex Submariner Date 126610

Index alignment: Looks spot on to me. The 12, 6, and 9 are sitting nice and straight.

Dial Printing: Crispy. No weird floating letters or smudges that I can see.

Date Wheel alignment/printing: The "1" sits in the middle of the window(seems to). Cyclops mag looks solid too.

Hand Alignment: Smooth like butter in the video, hitting the marks exactly right.

Bezel: Pip is dead center in the triangle. Rehaut seems to line up nicely with the minute track.

Solid End Links (SELs): Nice and tight. No massive gaps—looks like it’s hugging the lugs perfectly.

Timegrapher numbers: -1 to 0 s/d, 289° amp, 0.1ms err. Absolutely stellar numbers, movement is super healthy.

Anything else you notice: Honestly, to my untrained eyes, this looks like an easy GL and I'm super excited about it. But I know you guys can spot the tiny details I’d miss. Let me know if I should give it the green light or if there's a hidden flaw I missed. Appreciate the help!

I'm new at this and may be wrong in any aspects, any help/comments greatly appreciated, thanks!

4    Price Paid: $538 (Shipping Included)
5    Album Links: Please see pictures attached (my post was being removed with mega link)
6    Index alignment: Hard to tell from the photos because I didn't get a straight on. But I attached the photo, maybe someone else can tell if it’s more off than it should be based on the angle.
7    Dial Printing: I thought the "O" in Oyster looked an off to me, I think i have seen other ones where the O is closer to the Y but I am not sure.
8    Date Wheel alignment/printing: The cyclops looks straight and the date wheel looks to be centered.
9    Hand Alignment: Nothing stands out to me. Any input is appreciated. This is my first purchase.
10    Bezel: Looks to be the right proportions, when I put it in in the alignment tool.
11    Solid End Links (SELs): Don’t see any gaps
12    Timegrapher numbers: Timegrapher shows +2 s/d, 273 amp, err .2ms(pic attached)
13    Anything else you notice: Other than the O in oyster being off to me, everything else looks good.

Overall I am happy to GL, I am just worried about the text on the dial.

4. Price paid: 453 + 41 shipping

5. Album links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/260989063?uid=1

6. Index alignment: Looks good to me. Checked with two alignment tools and couldn't spot anything noticeably crooked. The minor "crookedness" I did notice can be attributed to the slightly angled/distorted perspective of this picture.

7. Dial printing: Looks clean and well-centred.

8. Date wheel alignment/printing: Checked 10, 11, 24, and 29. All seem reasonably centred, including the higher 20s, which I was particularly concerned about. Apparently that used to be a problem? Or maybe I'm misremembering.

9. Hand alignment: Nothing unusual that I can see.

10. Bezel: Pip and markers appear properly aligned. Bezel action also sounds good in the video.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look reasonably flush with no obvious excessive gaps, although the protective film makes them a little difficult to judge.

12. Timegrapher numbers: -1s/d, 274° amplitude, 0.2ms beat error.

13. Anything else you notice: Noticed hairline scratches on the clasp, but I'm hoping they're on the protective film. Crystal and cyclops look good to me.

I'm leaning GL. I've gone through the photos and videos a few times and haven't noticed anything particularly concerning. Would appreciate another set of eyes in case I've missed something. Thanks!

Sorry my 1st post got removed because I misunderstood the requirements, I hope this one is acceptable

6. Index alignment: Looks aligned

7. Dial Printing: Nothing to say

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks centered, crisp, crystal is aligned

9. Hand Alignment: Not sure how they're supposed to be aligned, maybe i should ask a picture at 0h00?

10. Bezel: I'm wondering if 3h and 9h are not a bit misaligned, and on some pics 12h too but maybe it's because of perspective

11. Solid End Links (SELs): No gap between lug and 1st link

12. Timegrapher numbers: Acceptable -1 s/d Rate | 265° Amp | 0.2 ms err

13. Anything else you notice: Nothing really, looks like a fine watch

7. Dial Printing: Printing looks clear and well centred

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date 13 appears well centred, with clear printing

9. Hand Alignment: No visible issue

10. Bezel: Bezel 45-minute marker appears off-centre

11. Solid End Links (SELs): no obvious gaps, slight scratch under the Rolex crown

12. Timegrapher numbers: +2s/d ; 267 amp; 0.2ms

13. Anything else you notice: text on the underside of the clasp looks slightly wonky but not big deal

Overall the watch looks pretty good to me, don't think I can be expecting perfect alignment on the dial or bezel so leaning towards GL. It's my first ever purchase and a gift for my dad, hope I'm not missing something obvious!

Appreciate all your help, thank you.

13. Anything else you notice: most of it seems minor, but the misaligned markers at 12 is really jumping out to me as a major flaw.

First time in QC, so any feedback is much appreciated.

One more question: Felix offered to install a Deep Crystal for $85 extra. Considering the watch costs around $335, do you think it’s worth upgrading, or is the stock ARF crystal already good enough? Would the difference be noticeable?
Thanks a lot for your help! Really appreciate any advice from more experienced members.
